As a stay at home mother, I can't help but click on all those work at home ads. The one that caught my interest most recently was something like this:
"Work at Home Data Entry- Get rich working only 15 minutes a day!"
Sounds too good to be true doesn't it? And yet I click, and read, and read again, wishing and hoping that the opportunity to work at home doing data entry is really there. The company that initially caught my eye was Data Entry Bank. However, there are numerous work at home data entry ads like this cropping up on the web, like type-at-home.com, mydatajob.com or homedatatypers.com, all of whom make strikingly similar pitches. Surrounded by pictures of sunny beaches and smiling, successful people in front of laptops, the page tells me that all I need to do is spend a few minutes a day typing ads for companies selling e-books and such. I'm treated to sample pay stubs that amount to thousands per week, and I'm told that every step will be explained for me. Suddenly data entry is starting to look like my dream job. I'm soon imagining a whole new wardrobe, that long vacation, a new home... but wait a minute. When I email the company to ask a question about how I might get a refund if I did sign up for their particular work at home data entry program, I get no reply. When I search on Google for Data Entry Bank, I find out that they haven't been in business for very long. There is no telephone number, no address, no name, just a way to send money. Details...

Internet Fraud: How to Avoid Internet Investment Scams
The Internet serves as an excellent tool for investors, allowing them to easily and inexpensively research investment opportunities. But the Internet is also an excellent tool for fraudsters. That's why you should always think twice before you invest your money in any opportunity you learn about through the Internet.
This alert tells you how to spot different types of Internet fraud, what the SEC is doing to fight Internet investment scams, and how to use the Internet to invest wisely.
Navigating the Frontier: Where the Frauds Are
The Internet allows individuals or companies to communicate with a large audience without spending a lot of time, effort, or money. Anyone can reach tens of thousands of people by building an Internet web site, posting a message on an online bulletin board, entering a discussion in a live "chat" room, or sending mass e-mails. It's easy for fraudsters to make their messages look real and credible. But it's nearly impossible for investors to tell the difference between fact and fiction. Details...

Filipino diaspora moves up value chain
MANILA - A growing global search for English-speaking talent is greatly benefiting Philippine workers who pursue overseas opportunities and badly hurting the local companies and domestic economy they are in growing numbers leaving behind.
A recent study conducted by Grant Thornton International and Philippine accounting firm Punongbayan & Araullo found that 43% of Philippine companies rated the scarcity of skilled labor as the major impediment to their business-expansion plans. Last yearonly 15% of Philippine companies surveyed complained about a chronic lack of skilled labor. Full details

Exodus of nurses still triggers touchy debate
Second of two parts
IT may not have reached the higher levels of the decibel scale yet, but there is an ongoing debate on what to do with the exodus of nurses and other health workers for better paying jobs abroad.
On the one hand, you have the nurses themselves, as well as leaders of the profession, who say “hey, last we looked, this was still a democratic country, and anybody is free to travel and work elsewhere, if employers will take him in.”
On the other, you have lawmakers and other government officials who have expressed alarm over the diaspora, fearing the development—and the resulting dearth of such professionals will exact a heavy toll on the health of the population.
And for good reason, says Dr. Jaime Z. Galvez Tan, former health secretary and now vice chancellor for research at the University of the Philippines in Manila and executive director of the National Institute of Health. Details

Filipino nurses bewail CGFNS ‘poor service’
In 2003, there were 13,000 Filipino nurses who availed of the services of the Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools (CGFNS). That translates to a total amount of $7.2 million in fees that were paid to CGFNS.
The number of Filipino nurses (13,000) represents more than 50% of the total number of foreign nurses worldwide who availed of the CGFNS services in 2003.
Therefore, the bulk of the income of CGFNS, a non-profit company based in Philadelphia, comes from Filipino nurses.
With this as a fact, one would think that the non-profit organization would have an operational office in the Philippines. Right?
Wrong. The truth is, the CGFNS has a one-man office in Manila with one telephone and one office computer.
“It is unfortunate that the organization is not delivering the excellent service that are due to the Filipino nurses, being the largest group of foreign nurses that utilize the services of CGFNS,” said Arthur Cantos, President of Bayani Consulting, a company based in Makati.
Cantos was one of the speakers during the 2-day Western Regional Conference of the Philippine Nurses Association of America (PNAA) in Tempe, Arizona on March 12-13, 2004.
Cantos, who himself is a Registered Nurse and worked in a hospital in San Francisco before forming his own company in Makati, said “ problems of delay, lost of documents, long turn around time and inefficient services of the CGFNS have been documented” by their office.
Mary Ann Tion, now working at St. Joseph Hospital told The Filipino American Journal that she spent P1,000.00 for telephone bills when she contacted CGFNS office in Philadelphia. Did she get any response? Full details
